07 Ranger 4x4 4.0, 5-speed manual, 43,000 miles
Transmission fluid was changed at about 25,000 miles, was dark red, but clean looking. Again at 43,000 miles, this time, again dark red (like cranberry juice), but clean. Drain plug magnet had the common fuzz on it. It shifts noticeably smoother. Less chatter and the truck seems like it rolls smoother. Refilled with Motorcraft Mercon V.
Transfer case fluid was like used motor oil and smelled somewhat like gear oil, but was thinner. Refilled with Motorcraft Transfer Case Fluid.
Easy to do, my guess is changing both about every 25,000-30,000 miles is ideal, from what I've seen. I'm going to upload a video or two on it.
